【Culture Sharing in Jieshou Junior High School－St. Vincent 】
2024-03-01
Do you know that the movie 'Pirates of
the Caribbean' series was filmed in Saint Vincent?
Thank you very much to the ICDF and the Jieshou
Junior High School for the invitation, allowing us, students from Saint Vincent
in the Caribbean, represented by Cherry-Ann Earlene Morris, to have the
opportunity to cross over 15,000 kilometers and share our country's volcanic
geography, culture, carnival, Christmas celebrations, and other customs, to
embark on a deep cultural journey.
One of the most impressive things was the
different cultural nuances. For instance, in Taiwan, the music played by
garbage trucks is 'Für Elise' by Beethoven, whereas in Saint Vincent, it's
actually the music played by ice cream trucks. Also, what you might expect to
find in a baby stroller might surprise you - in Taiwan, even furry friends get
to ride along! Through interactions with high school students, Cherry also came
to appreciate the beauty of Taiwan's cultural landmarks and heritage sites.
